Holton, Wincanton, Somerset, BA9

Stable Cottage is a charming natural stone semi-detached barn conversion, ideally positioned in the centre of the picturesque South Somerset village of Holton, with a 14th century church, excellent village pub with B&B, and an active village hall all within a few minutes walk.

The property offers deceptively spacious accommodation, rich in character and period features, including an impressive inglenook fireplace, exposed beams, and traditional latch doors.

The ground floor living accommodation has a wonderful open plan feel with a spacious fitted kitchen/diner complete with a comprehensive bespoke shaker style kitchen, with tiled splashback, white ceramic sink and drainer, Neff oven, induction hob, integrated washing machine and dishwasher. An opening flows through to the sitting room with a continuation of oak floorboards and an imposing inglenook fireplace with flagstone hearth, traditional stone built surround, wooden mantel, and wood-burning stove creating a striking focal point. French doors open directly onto the delightful courtyard garden, seamlessly extending the living space.

Also on the ground floor is a tastefully appointed bathroom, fitted with a two drawer vanity unit with large white ceramic basin, WC, panelled bath with shower over and glass screen, complemented by attractive stone tiled flooring.
The wide solid oak staircase leads to the two generous double bedrooms with good ceiling height, enhanced by built-in wardrobes and the rustic charm of exposed beams. A stylish fitted shower room serves the first floor accommodation.

Outside, the low maintenance courtyard garden provides a peaceful and private outdoor space, ideal for both relaxing and entertaining, with raised beds adding colour and interest. The garage has light, power, and loft storage. There are private parking spaces for 2 cars in front of the garage.

In summary, Stable Cottage is a beautifully presented character home, combining period charm with modern comfort, in a highly desirable village location.
